I need help to mount an external drive used on my QNAP TS-230 (latest firmware) to backup data. I set encrypted partition (LUKS) on this drive with a passphrase. I tried to mount that partition on a Linux system but when I enter the passphrase it doesn't work. I read the passphrase is hashed with the QNAP command
storage_util --encrypt_pwd pwd=
but I have the same problem with the string returned.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
I used the QNAP web interface to init the disk (*single partition, no others*), adding the encryption option.
When I run sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 crypt_disk
, it asks for the passphrase and the response is No key available with this passphrase.
. I tried with both password: in clear, and wrapped with the command storage_util
.
